Amadeus Consulting now offers development for Windows Phone 7

Online, May 3, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Amadeus Consulting, a company recently named the top mobile application developer in Boulder and Broomfield, now offers custom application development for the Windows Phone 7™. The company is excited to offer this because of its extensive history with Microsoft® products, having been a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner since 1994.

Microsoft has overhauled its user interface (UI) and experience to make functionality extremely intuitive and similar to the Microsoft Zune®. The "hub system" will aggregate data into six hubs that emphasize specific themes: People, Pictures, Games, Music + Video, Marketplace, and Office.

Some of the additional features that Windows Phone 7 Series offers include:

Microsoft Office - allows coordination between Office applications, OneNote®, and the SharePoint® workspace. It also incorporates the power of Outlook® Mobile, which allows users to access their Outlook email while out of the office

Silverlight 4 - The mobile version of Silverlight, (acting somewhat like Adobe® Air®) will support rich Internet applications on mobile devices to best leverage many features of Internet-based sites, and offer similar functionality. This news is extremely exciting to the custom application development world, which will be better equipped now to develop rich applications for consumers

Internet Explorer Mobile - will focus on performance to increase load time for mobile users

Integration with Smartphones- will be the primary operating system for the HTC phone suite, as well as other smartphone models

XBOX Live Game Hub - lets users access the XBOX LIVE community, which has over 23 million users, and check up on what is happening in the gaming world

Speaking about Amadeus Consulting's extensive Microsoft technology experience, CIO John Basso said, "With this transition and change to Windows Phone 7 Series, our application development team is better able to offer our customers more meaningful and user-friendly applications in the mobile environment.
